These people need to be investigated. They ended up with our Schnauzer after a cross up with the microchip company and the animal shelter. We were not notified she was found because the microchip was in transfer. We called and explained the situation to APR and at first they acted like they really wanted to help us get our baby back. Then even with the microchip company verifying we were the owners they said we were not getting her and we needed to contact animal control. I know they are not obligated to give her back but I think it's bad business. They told us how much it would be up front and we agreed so we are not trying to snatch a freebie. We were also told she was being housed with 8 other dogs. I feel for the low dog in the pack. To me it seems like organized hoarding. Attitudes like theirs is what makes the freebie and the mill market flourish.
